In answer to one thing Norman SF said, it makes no difference wether this is your first jet company or not, far too much fuss is made over this, I have been through several courses myself and at the very least all those other courses except CTC extended me professional courtesy.
And I wish some folk would realise that it is not every first officers dream to sit in a really big jet for 8hrs+ at a time. easyjet could be a great place to work with not a lot of changes.
And one final point, every non TRSS Pilot I speak to thinks I must have had a good hike in pay so there fore I am better off now.
When I quit my TP Captains Job and joined easyjet's TRSS scam I took a pay cut for the first six months on line and had no salary during my training at all. And as for the comment about perhaps figuring out how I would pay the mortgage before I applied, I did not apply for TRSS, there is no "tick here for TRSS" box in the application form anywhere, and I did not know I was to be put in to this category until the day of the selection tests!
And at the end of the day I admit I accepted there "offer", but not after much sole searching as to wether it was the right thing to do.
As for "modern Equipment", obviously not written by someone who flys at a 737-300 only base!! My old TP's toilet flushing equipment was more modern than some of the update 5.0 FMC's I have to use!!!
Not that the thread originally asked, I too would like to make the distinction between CTC and easyjet training. Easyjet training is first class, and the standard on the line is extremely high.
